We call them ‘traffic circles’.................

Yes, and there is a reason we've been replacing them with signaled intersections over the last 60 years. Americans were generally pretty bad at navigating traffic circles from the outset, an issue which has seen no improvement in the intervening decades given the increasing general level of stupidity on the part of American drivers.

We have two traffic circles here, put in about 15 or so years ago. The city said it was cheaper than a computerized traffic light system at those intersections.................
